AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old educational game titled "Logis des Animaux" (Animal Homes), published by Fernand Nathan. This pedagogical domino game comes in its original box with an illustrated lid featuring a bear cub and a squirrel against a vibrant green background, typical of 1960s youth graphic style. The mentions "DOMINO" and "Un jeu éducatif Fernand Nathan" (An educational game by Fernand Nathan) are clearly visible on the lid.

Inside the box, several cardboard dominoes are visible, each decorated with colorful illustrations representing animals (hare, chamois, mole, squirrel, etc.) and their respective habitats (cage, den, stable...). The texts printed on the dominoes are in French, with an easily readable vintage typeface. The illustrations feature bold colors and clear outlines, characteristic of vintage educational games produced by Fernand Nathan in the 60s-70s.

The dominoes are rectangular with slightly rounded corners. The visible dominoes show a patina of use, indicating their age, but the colors remain vibrant. The sturdy cardboard box shows some signs of wear on the edges but maintains good overall structure. The internal arrangement suggests a complete or nearly complete set of pieces, though exhaustiveness cannot be guaranteed without a precise inventory.

This game is typical of the playful pedagogical methods developed in the post-war period, aiming to associate each animal with its natural or constructed habitat. The design and color palette, as well as the Fernand Nathan logo, are representative of French educational production from the second half of the 20th century.

The box and dominoes are visible in the photo, allowing for appreciation of the graphic quality and overall condition of the items. No additional accessories or instructions are visible in the provided image.
